PROVERBS 8:33-34 AMP
““Heed (pay attention to) instruction and be wise, And do not ignore or neglect it. “Blessed [happy, prosperous, to be admired] is the man who listens to me [Wisdom], Watching daily at my gates, Waiting at my doorposts.”
GOLD NUGGETS
The more you read and study Proverbs, and the more you apply its words to your life, the more you will find that its wise and witty sayings “work”. It was said of Carl Gustav Jung, that written over the door of his study was: “Invoked or not, God is present.” The fact is whether men and women invoke the Creator or not, His creative and sustaining wisdom goes on giving them a world where wisdom operates and where things make sense to humankind. Charles G. Martin said “ wisdom is the handbook of instruction in God’s workshop and when people despise wisdom …, they blot the copy book of life.” Of course, we must accept that some may pursue wisdom for the wrong reason – self-interest – or just because wisdom “works”. Heaven aside for the moment, our lives would be a lot better if wisdom prevailed. Indeed “Wisdom is the principal thing; …”. Heed and pay attention to it. Shalom – Peace: God’s all encompassing blessings to you.
